 tions " will contain about 210 acres of planted land, the " Marklmm 

 Plantation " about 200 acres ; and near Pycarrah about 250 acres are to be

LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM DARJEELING. 



Dr. Anderson, who is in charge of the Chinchona cultivation in Bengal, 

 brought the plants to the Darjeeling Hills early in May 1862. He then 

 had 84 plants of C. succiruhra, 44 of G. micraniha, 48 of C. nitida, 2 of 

 C. Peruviana, 5 of C Calisaya, and 53 of C Faliudiana. On July 26th 

 these had been increased, by layers and cuttings, to 140 of (J. succiruhra, 

 53 of C. nitida, 43 of C. micrantha, 7 of C. Calisaya, and 3 of C. Peru- 

 viana. See page 512. 



LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM CEYLON. 



On July 29th, 1862, Mr. Thwaites had raised 960 young plants of C. 

 Condaminea from seeds. At the same date the plants of C. succiruhra 

 were thriving admirably, several being planted out in the hill garden, and 

 a few at Peradenia. The other species were doing well, and Mr. Thwaites 

 was propagating as fast as possible from cuttings. See page 509. 



C. PAHUDIANA.— The Dutch Species. 



The C. Pahudiana, which forms the bulk of the Java plantations, is 

 now generally acknowledged to be worthless. A tree of this species has 

 been chemically analyzed by Professors G. F. Miilder and F. A. W. Miquel, 

 and, in consequence of the joint report of these gentlemen, the Dutch 

 Government have determined to put an entire stop to its cultivation. See 

 page 56. See letter from M. Hasskarl, dated May 23rc?, 1862.
